#238 - Fighting Drought, Dealing with Weed Infestations, and USDA Grants for Habitat Improvement with Ryan Timiney

Habitat Podcast #238 - In today’s episode of The Habitat Podcast, Jared sits back down with repeat guest Ryan Timiney. We get into managing drought and weed infestation in food plots, utilizing rye for crimping, setting up stand locations, using trail cameras for security and obtaining USDA grants for habitat improvement. We discuss:

Ryan's attempt at a no-till approach for weed control

The drought led to an influx of grass and broadleaf weeds in Ryan's food plots

Evaluating the efficiency and effectiveness of a sprayer for different plot needs and preferences

Setting up stand locations and planning regeneration requires careful visualization and consideration of the property

Strategically placing stands with a green backdrop

Loosing 10 acres of land due to a neighbor's mistake in not filing the deed correctly

Mowing down plots and broadcasting rye to salvage the food plot

Rye is essential for successful crimping and can be cheap and effective when top-dressed

Creating optimal hiding spots in lone trees 

Using cameras mainly for security purposes

Issues with bears damaging Trail Cameras


And so much more!
